The Man From Planet X.
==================
This movie starts with, some good special effects, of a planet spotted drifting through our system and it is going to come close to the Earth. The Planet named planet X, (how imaginative!) will be studied by many around the globe including Professor Elliot who sets up a small observatory in the remote moors of a Scottish island.
He along with daughter Enid and Dr Mears, ... ...are soon joined by the obligatory Newspaper reporter that always seemed to be in these movies.
They soon get a visit from a spaceship from planet X and the alien occupant of the spaceship. He appears at first friendly and benign but does he have ulterior motives? He breaths by means of a tank of his own X atmosphere. He has his own gold fish bowl helmet and through that eerie atmosphere inside does indeed look alien.

However he is soon discovered to be attempting to get more of his people to land on the Earth but this will mean turning Earths atmosphere into X atmosphere.
This film is actually quite good and manages to hold your interest. Tue the budget was tiny and it sometimes shows. The acting is pretty good and the dialogue is OK. the basic premise for the film is interesting and runs well, with a good if not predictable ending.
This film would be OK to watch late at night similarly to an old hammer house of horror film.
Worth one watch.
Sound Quality is not the best but then it was made in the 50's.
No extras on the DVD apart from the usual basic stuff.

Brad:
Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker.
There's three ways that love can grow.
That's good, bad, or mediocre.
Oh, J-A-N-E-T I love you so.

Janet:
In the velvet darkness,
Of the blackest night,
Burning bright,
There's a guiding star.
No matter what or who you are.
